The Governors Message.

Governor Wilson's message to the
State Legislature contains brief review
of the condition of the different depart
ments of our State governments makes
some very important recommendations
to our law makers.
The receipts and expenditures of the
past two years are given. showing bal
ance in the Treasury on September 80,
1856, of s36S, O0l so. He estimates that
the receipts for the State fund for 1887
will be $4S5 ,45o, and the charges $751;
SIC. The receipts of the State fund for
1883 he estimates at S447 $50 and the
charges at SAG, al.
1t is recommended that the tax laws
be revised; that the property Of incor-
porated companies be taxed, aud that
Sheriffs be required to pay into the
State Treasury all license taxes by Au
gust ].
IL is asked that there be fixed Il "speci-
fed examination fee" for justices in
trying criminal cases, and that limit
be "plaeed upon the number Of witness
es," and more power given to courts and
prosecuting attorneys. The cost to tho
State for criminal trials is $4,000 an
nually, and by fixing limit it is ex-
pected to reduce the expenses TO the
State the amount of $500 annually.
1t is recommended that physicians APP
pointed to give medical aid to inmates
of jails, etc., receive a fixed sum annu-
ally Instead of making charges as at
present.
Better laws for the organization Of the
militia Of the State are recommended.
Al appropriation of $50, 25S. 90 is asked
for the completion of the Capitol build
ing.
Better laws in regard to the ventila-
ton Of mines are asked.
The Governor dwells at much length
upon the question OF railroad discrimina-
ton in our State. If the determinations
continue he urges that suit be institute
ed in the Supreme Court OF the United
States to secure our rights.
1t is asked that law be passed pro-
hibiting State officers from receiving
railroad passes, and making il a felony
for money to be used in secur ing nomi-
nation for office.
The free schools, the institute for deaf
and dumb, the Normal schools and Uni.
versity are shown to be in prosperous
condition, and the usual appropriations
are asked.
1t is suggested that the able bodied
ooEvicts in the Penitentiary be employ
ed in constructing highways over the
State

A Monster Hog.

The Reading Eagle gives to the
world the following, which if true,
and we have no reason to doubt, GER
tainly gives tho hog mentioned therein
front place in the big hog reports
One of the largest hogs ever brought to
Reading is now in the yard at Lawrence
L. Ressler's Casino saloon. She was
weighed and actually tipped the beam
at over 1000 pounds. She was raised
by Elias Billingfelt, of Adamstown, and
is two years ole. She is about Z feet
in length, and is veritable mountain of
fat, grunting and hardly able to breathe.
She is still being fattened up, and it is
expected that by the time she is killed
she will weigh LOO pounds. Any
party is allowed to inspect her for the
purpose of computing her weight. The
hog will be ratified of.

On the Slst ult., at her residence, near Shep-

Shepherd, widow Of the late Rein Davis
Shepherd, Jr.,. and eldest daughter OF the
Hon. Alexander r. Boteler.
Her death was = great shock, not only 10
the community with which she was so prom

beyond It's limits; for wherever she was
known-and the circle Of her acquaintance
was large one-she was universally loved

With acknowledgement and ready sympath y
she never failed to respond promptly to the
appeals of those who came to her in any per-
plexity or distress and in the many vicissl l.
tudes Of troubled life was withal faithful
Christian, which was the browning grace
and glory OF her noble character. In the

faltering faith, were, 81 don't know; but It'll
all right. Kiss me-"
In the hearts of those who call her daugh-

forted in the thought that she has entered
into the rest that remaineth for the people o.

A Girl saved by N Rationale

A strange story comes from Brevard
county, Fla. Mr.. John Lennard says
that near him lives family named Bel
den. They had a daughter, a girl of Is
years old, who had formed an attach
ment for big rattlesnake, which would
come and 60 at her bidding and nestle
in her lap. The reptile was fond Of the
girl, and would allow her TO strike it
and roll it about as she pleased. The
girl was playing in some bushes near
the house, with the snake in her lap.
A negro saw the child, and, thinking
she was unprotected, slipped upon her,
seized her in his arms, and was bearing
her off into the woods, with his hand
pressed over her mouth TO stifle her
cries. The snake crawled from the
folds of her dress, crept around the
brute's arm, and struck him on the
neck, Kissing in rage. The negro drop
ped the girl, and dashed the snake
against tree. The girl ran screaming
toward her home. The negro went
only few yards before he was over
come by the poison, aud died shortly
after in great agony.

A LARGE number Of coal-handlers
on the wharves at Weehawken, n. D.,
went on strike couple of weeks ago.
The chief result was that the poor peo-
pie who buy coal in small quantities
were obliged to pay enormous prices,
while the large dealers, against whom
the strike was made, made imlnen
profits by reason of the advanced prices.
When they were ready the dealers got
other men to take the strikers places.
Another strike that didn't pay.
